Well, we're all in luck, because there's a new workout series on YouTube that combines swimming with mermaid tails to create a full-body workout that looks actually incredible.

Fin Fun Mermaid Tails worked with USA Swimming–certified coach Christine Dustin to create the high-impact but joint-friendly fitness routine, which includes all of the flips, body rolls, and dolphin kicks we associate with mermaids.

"Like swimming, mermaiding is a full-body workout, but it especially focuses on the core muscles," Dustin told SELF. "Water provides a resistance you don’t get on land, while also giving a low-impact environment that leads to few injuries. The workout strengthens your heart, increases your lung capacity, and improves your flexibility, [in addition to working muscles throughout] your entire body."
